That's a beautiful thing; I too am sick of people who do nothing but collect zingers to try to use against the "other side", and won't hear anything bad against their own.
Hey, I just got back from the Cook Islands, and was all set to join you in uke-oslavia -- there was a gorgeous (but real, not ornamental) ukulele for sale in Rarotonga that I was going to buy on my last day, but it was Sunday and the store was closed. I may try to find one here in Melbourne anyway...

A taro-patch fiddle.
The toys are unlistenable. Kamaka's are great, pricey though. Mele's have a wider range of quality and prices - I have one of their concerts and need to get me another tenor (the first one I bought went with Sofa).
Did you see/hear any of the solid body, 'Tahitian-style' ukes? Like you, I couldn't get to a store when it was open. But that's also on my to buy list. It plays loud and w/ 8 strings it's a big full loud. Hawaiian ukes sound so sweet at sunset, but the Tahitis rock the boat.

Yes, the one I wanted to buy was that style; it was beautiful and sounded amazing. Made by a guy on the island of Atiu who apparently has quite a waiting list if you want to buy one directly from him. The (only) music store in Rarotonga had one for sale, for about twice the cost, but I would've paid it...
I've also noticed that Melbourne has this:
